Disputes, particularly complex disputes, are unavoidable and they are difficult and time-consuming to manage. Traditional court-based litigation is expensive and becoming more so as the amount of data kept within organisations increases, making the discovery process more complicated and much more costly.
If you’re involved in a dispute you need input from lawyers who can combine high-quality legal advice with a practical, cost-effective approach. They need to understand how business works and be familiar with all the options available to manage your risk while achieving the best possible outcome. That may mean going to court, but it’s more likely to involve using alternative forms of dispute resolution such as negotiation, mediation or arbitration.
Our team of lawyers can deal with disputes of all sizes. We’ve been involved with some of New Zealand’s largest commercial disputes and we also help clients solve smaller, more personal disputes, such as disputes between trustees or over estate administration. We’re skilled mediators as well as litigators, and we understand that ultimately it’s about getting a good outcome as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
